Meltdown 🐰 I use this powerful oil at night to reduce redness and shrink breakouts. And when I need something to treat a blemish under concealer this is what I'm reaching for. Most treatments don't sit well under makeup but you can apply this directly or mix in with your moisturizer, either way makeup goes on smoothly. Lots of good for your skin oils (pic of ingredients in my #story ). Cruelty free and vegan, too. 😍 #breakouts#skincareaddict

Hello, welcome, and MEET BLUME.
This Canadian company is all about what I’m about!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
One of my 2019 intentions was to decrease the amount of chemicals in my personal body products, so I’m so happy to have come across these folks!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
They have created products that are #hormonefriendly such as aluminum-free deodorant and facial products that aren’t chemical-laden or full of junk that you wouldn’t want on your face.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
They also have Organic, 100% premium organic cotton pads and tampons that are biodegradable, hypoallergenic, BPA free and FDA approved. For those of us with hormonal imbalances, decreasing the amount of chemicals we put on our body is crucial!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
And the best part? You can create a box of supplies with whatever you need monthly to be delivered to you.
But lets talk about this PMS roller for a minute..
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
It’s created with a blend of essential oils especially designed to help you deal with your cramps & PMS. I roll it on my lower abdomen & lower back when I feel cramps coming on to help ease the pain. I also use it when I’m feeling bloated - I’ll roll it on my stomach and massage it in and it helps to deflate the sensation of a basketball in my stomach 🙃
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

I first heard about the @meetblume Hug Me deodorant from @skinbyjess 😘...and since she really, really, really seemed to love it, I thought I'd give it a shot. 🤷🏼‍♀️🤞
•
I'm glad I did. This is an organic deodorant that claims to last for 24 hours. Well, it lasted through a whole 12 hour shift of me running around (at the end, I didn't smell one bit). 💕 Then, since I forgot to reapply it before my next shift (oops!), it got tested for over 36 hours. I still did not smell!!! 🙌🏼 I haven't noticed any skin irritation or greasy feeling. It's just a nice #organicdeodorant that actually works. 🎉
•
#meetblume says the secret to why this works so well is the inclusion of #probiotics .👩🏼‍🔬 Goes to show you that they're not just good for your tummy. With all the holiday parties happening right now, you can use this #deodorant and safely dance the night away! 💃🏼🕺

🌼 Ingredients: "Organic Coconut Oil, Organic Corn Starch, Baking Soda (naturally aluminum-free), Wild Crafted Candelilla Wax, Organic Jojoba Oil, Shelf Stable Probiotics"

✨ Blume: Holy Grail of Skincare ✨
—
Was so excited when I got these in the mail today (super fast shipping too can I say!). I’ve slowly, but surely, been trying to add more organic products to my skincare regime. After trying their Hug Me deodorant and Cloud 9 PMS oil, I’ve been hooked on @meetblume products! I’ve been breaking out a lot recently and have heard ravishing reviews about their acne treatment, so I decided to try it out myself. Meltdown is made from some incredible essential oils historically known to have amazing benefits for the skin. One of the ingredients is Black cumin seed oil which has been used to treat acne for over 2,000 years! I got Daydreamer as well because if you get both, you get a free jade roller. If you’re into skincare like me, you’ve probably seen jade rollers on beauty influencers’ “shelfies” all over Instagram. Jade rolling can help with circulation and increasing collagen production. So excited to try these products out, and let you all know how I liked em’! #notsponsored

Hi guys! Today is day 2 of my collab with @the_beauty_books ! Today we are both reviewing a cleanser! The cleanser I chose was the @meetblume Day Dreamer Cleanser. I tried out this cleanser on a whim after seeing it advertised a lot, and ended up really loving it! This cleanser is super gentle, and great for people with dry or sensitive skin. It can also work with regular skin types but I’m not sure if it would be good for people with oilier skin types. I’ve been using this as my daily cleanse for a while now and I have no complaints at all, but please keep in mind that this is a gentle cleanser and not a product you would use for a deep cleanse. -
-
My rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

It’s been a crazy week, but I’ve been venturing out more and more. We went to the park and I sat on the bench watching Maci have fun crawling all over the playground with her Nonna. I did a lot of reflecting about the woman she would someday become. My mind was all over the place as usual. I’m noticing how much she is like me every single day. It’s kind of an overwhelming thought to realize she will grow up one day, especially when I realize how much she could be just like me.
And then the thought of puberty struck my train of thought and I just about fell off the bench. (Don’t worry, I only gasped heavily!) 🙈
.
Over the last year, I’ve found myself searching up all kinds of organizations and brands that are focused on self-care and women empowerment. A favorite of mine that I’ve found is @MeetBlume, a brand that provides safe, organic period and self-care products for women and girls who believe in the power of their choices. You simply build a completely customized subscription box however often you need it with products you can trust! I’ve also been using their natural deodorant and it’s been the best I’ve ever used! I have very sensitive skin, so it’s always hard to find products that work! This is actually only the second deodorant I’ve ever tried that doesn’t make me break out. So the fact that it’s natural is even better!!
.
With how fast time has flown by over the last year, I now know that it’s only going to go by faster! So I’m learning how to try and always be fifty steps ahead. Super thankful for brands that are taking care of girls and women while making them feel like the warriors they are! ✊🏼 #meetblume#blumebabe#sponsored

This week's #BOSSBABE is Taran Ghatrora, the co-founder of @meetblume. 💖 Taran and her sister empower women by delivering a monthly subscription box full of sustainable period products. 📦 Keep reading to find out more about what inspired her to start Blume and why female empowerment is so dear to her heart. // 🌐: bit.ly/bossbabe-blume

Today I want to share my review with you guys on this awesome natural deodorant! 🌱
.
This is the Blume Hug Me deodorant that is organic, cruelty free, vegan, aluminum free, paraben free, gluten free, and BPA free with NO added fragrance. It’s a dream come true! ✨
.
.
The only ingredients are organic coconut oil, organic corn starch, baking soda, wild crafted candelilla wax, organic jojoba oil, and shelf stable probiotics.
.
.
I bought this once I had seen a few other beauty bloggers raving about it. Since summertime I had been on the hunt for the perfect natural deodorant and tried at least 5 or 6 before this one. All the others gave me a rash/irritated skin and didn’t make me smell good. Once I tried Hug Me, nothing could compare. At first I was suspicious because it literally didn’t smell like anything and kind of started to pill under my arms (which didn’t last long). Once I started to use it more, I could tell I wasn’t smelling, it lasted all day long, and it was doing its job perfectly! 💪🏼 for a short period of time (less than a week) my underarms were a little red and felt kind of sore, but I think that was just the adjustment period switching from aluminum to natural deodorant. Now that I’ve been using it since September, it’s become my all-time favorite deodorant. I always smell fresh and my underarms are never irritated. I already ordered my second one as a backup because I’m almost out. I highly recommend trying this out if you’re looking for a great natural deodorant! It won’t disappoint. 💗

If you aren’t on the menstrual cup bandwagon quite yet, are you on the organic pad/tampon bandwagon? If not, don’t fret. Blume makes it easy for you to jump on board. ⁣
-⁣
Customize a monthly selection of non-toxic period products for yourself and a beautiful box will be delivered right to your front doorstep. Blume’s organic pads and tampons are free of chlorine, bleach, pesticides, and synthetic fibers (and they’re biodegradable too!). ⁣
-⁣
I love the personalization and ease of Blume’s service/offerings and I hope you do too. @meetblume

Cloud 9 by @meetblume: A natural alternative to meds for your not-so-fun PMS symptoms. This blend is made with some of my favorite organic essential oils (clary sage! peppermint! bergamot!) that help balance hormones and alleviate headaches, cramps, and bloating. What’s not to love?!

Yes, it’s that’s time of the month guys! Day 1 is always cramp day and I plan on saying goodbye to those cramps by applying this CLOUD 9 roller blend by @meetblume all over my lower belly! This blend is made up of Jojoba oil, Coconut oil and Essential oils — my favs!
.
Blume provides safe and sustainable, self care and period products that are cruelty-free and vegan! You can receive their products every month in the mail and even customize the exact items you want to cater to your own personal Self Care and Period needs! Im so glad I met Blume!

September @meetblume review on the blog today. Time of the Month subscription boxes are my favourite to receive. There's just something about them that makes me happy. They provide a little bit of comfort each month when I need it most.

🚨Review🚨
.
.
I was overjoyed when Bunny over at @meetblume contacted me asking if she could send me some of Blume’s products to test out and review. Blume is a company that stands for many things I can get behind. They are working to bust the taboo and stigmas that surround women’s periods, create period-related products that are safe for both our bodies and the environment, and promote a culture of self-care. They offer a customizable monthly subscription box of pads and tampons, that you can also add their lovely skincare goods to. Blume was kind enough to send me three of their products for testing, Daydreamer Face Wash, Cloud 9 PMS Oil, and Hug Me Deodorant along with some ADORABLE stickers (seen in my skincare fridge shelfie a few posts back). Overall I was very happy with everything I received and definitely plan on ordering a box in the future! I need to get my hands on their Meltdown spot treatment that I’ve heard rave reviews about! Here are my thoughts on the products I tested. .
♥️ Daydreamer Face Wash: This face wash comes with quite the impressive roster- cruelty free, organic, vegan, free of gluten, BPA, parabens, aluminum, alcohol, petroleum based ingredients, artificial fragrance, and sulfates! It is a gentle hydrating cleanser containing moor, jojoba, chamomile, geranium, and lavender. It aims to remove makeup, reduce redness, and purify the skin without stripping away moisture. I have to say that I’m not usually a fan of cream cleansers, but I’ve been using this as my first cleanse and have actually really enjoyed it. It does a good job at removing my minimal makeup and I do feel as though it soothes my redness. My skin has been extra dry this month and this cleanser leaves my skin more hydrated than my typical oil cleanser without my skin feeling heavy or weighed down. With all of the goodness located in it’s ingredients and the affordable price of $14 I would definitely purchase this in the future. .
♥️ Cloud 9 PMS Oil: I honestly had the lowest expectations for this product and it ended up being my favorite out of the three! I happened to receive my box of Blume goodies a week before my period, perfect timing!

💉 period stuff *gifted
___________
Who else loves their cycle?🙋‍♀️
I had the worst relationship with my period in high school. I wished for it to go away and when it finally did it was due to stress and excessive physical exertion - so ofc, it wasn't a healthy thing and I had to work for years to get it back.
〰️
I'm so thrilled to work with @meetblume , a company that actively promotes a positive attitude towards menstruation 🙌
period power!
〰️
First impressions (I've had less than a week with products but I love reading people's first impressions of EVERYTHING and seeing how it compares with their final thoughts. Also I really wanna share this brand because it's something I'm passionate about) -
✨day dreamer: super gentle cleanser. I can't use this on its own because it does feel like it leaves a little bit of something behind. I haven't tried this on makeup yet but I plan to do that in the next two weeks and report back. Basically a non foaming cream cleanser. I would probably relegate this to post-workout-mid-day-cleansing-sessions for now but I expect it's going to be super nourishing and perfect for cooler weather months.
✨meltdown: spot treatment that doesn't contain tea tree which has me very intrigued. I don't get many spots so this is more difficult to judge for me personally but I used it on my fiance the other night and his baby volcano had greatly reduced by the next morning. Needless to say, he's thrilled.
✨cloud 9: pms aromatherapy roller ball. Ok I thought this would be more scented. Maybe I'm trippin but this isn't very fragrant to me. Maybe this is supposed to be something that works invisibly? I feel like I should be smelling more here. Maybe my nose is broken. What I do pick up is a little bit of mint and I think in that regard it'll be nice for stuffy nose occasions since it has a baby menthol effect.
✨period stuff: i haven't reached my time of the month so I can't report on these just yet. I personally am super partial to cups and cloth pads as my period solutions but I'll make an exception for the sake of the gram.
* I opted out of the deodorant since it has baking soda in it and my underarms hate that stuff.

#iranoutofspace

It’s all about Self-Love & Self-Care. @meetblume a company that’s all about self-care during our time of the month 🛀. This is a monthly subscription service that provides lot of TLC to its products so it’s extra gentle on us! They have tampons, pads, oil for cramps, acne treatment and more💕
.
I was sent 3 products to try • Facewash •deodorant •acne treatment .
🌥Day Dreamer face wash is a super gentle, creamy wash that doesn’t foam at all but feels like I’m applying a lotion to my face. Really hydrating and gentle - it feels so therapeutic when I was apppying this maybe cus of its smell 💁🏻‍♀️ (it sort of smells like a spa). It doesn’t have long list of ingredients either. It contains olive oil, coconut oil grape fruit seed oil so it’s extremely gentle and perfect for period time use. .
🌥Hug Me deodorant is probably one of the best deo’s out there. It’s very gentle and has no smell- Paraben & Aluminum free 🙌🏼 and I don’t need continuous applying! I’ve used this before going to gym and it works really well but I don’t sweat a lot so idk how this will hold against those who do but works well for me🙏🏼 best ingredients ever: organic coconut oil, organic corn starch, baking soda, organic jojoba & probiotics!!! That’s it! 🙌🏼
.
🌥Melt down acne treatment- I usually rarely breakout, however during my time of the month, I get one of those extremely painful pimples that grows underneath the skin. I have only used this as a spot treatment and I noticed that inflammation did go down— however I do need to use a bit more to completely share my true opinion. I do love its ingredients though- cumin seed oil, rosemary, rosehip,tamanu oil etc to really heal and minimize acne. This should just be used as a spot treatment. It does have a really strong scent that some may not like but it doesn’t bother me all that much. 😊.
.
🌺 I really want to try their pads and tampons next along with cloud 9 which is a cramp oil and I get worst cramps. IMO This subscription box is totally worth it 🙌🏼 .
Let me know if you have tried this brand. .
Kindly gifted *
Best part it’s #vegan and #crueltyfree brand 🐰

NATURAL DEODERANT COMPAISON
━━
🌱So… since I started this account I have been on the hunt for a "HOLY CRAP THIS STUFF IS LEGIT" type of #naturaldeoderant . I'm not going to lie, I set my standard high — for it to compare to my oh so loved Secret Scent Expressions Coco Butter Kiss (what I have been using since the beginning of my stinky life).
━━
🌱First, I tried #LaVanilla , and I was not impressed. While it smelled and looked nice, I was stinky within one hour!
━━
🌱Next, I tried the #PiperWai — a HUGE improvement from LaVanilla, but I was not a fan of the 'grey cast' the charcoal left on my underarms. While this one did keep my smell at bay, it wasn't AS long wearing as I'd like either.
━━
🌱Next came #Native . I tried this after seeing @devsday & @offdutydiary love for the product, and I have to say this was a winner — well, actually (spoiler alert), its my 2nd place. I really enjoyed the coconut scent, and the product held up for a strong 8 hours. It performed at the same level as my beloved Coco Butter Kiss, & I was thrilled for a natural, delicious smelling product; not to mention, shipping was free and it arrived so quickly! The price was $12 USD, plus I was charged an extra $3USD (Customs I assume), which brought it to a total of $20 CAD. Not too shabby! If scented is non negotiable, this is your #1 !
━━━━
⭐️Enter: #MeetBlume Hug Me Deodorant. IF you have been following me for a bit, you have likely seen me RAVE about this! Like seriously, holy shit, I am ABSOLUTELY SHOOK!!! I am in awe of this product! I used to think I needed a deliciously scented deodorant until I found out that this baby:
🌺 Keeps stank at bay for 15+ hours
🌺 Made of 6 safe ingredients
🌺 Minimizes wetness
& Fun Fact: I forgot to reapply deodorant one morning, and since I didn’t shower I still had my Hug Me on. I'm not kidding, after 40 hours of wearing this baby I still had no smell.
.
⭐️#HugMe is $12 USD, & not to sound spammy AT ALL, you can get 10% off & FREE SHIPPING with my code SKINBYJESS. No joke, I will buy this off of you if you aren't satisfied, I love it that much. I'm happy to say, it beats Coco Butter Kiss by a long shot!
**See my Hug Me Highlight**

Ok can someone please explain the witchcraft behind @meetblume Cloud 9 oil??*
〰️
I have dealt with some pretty bad period-related cramps, nausea, and migraines for years. Oftentimes these symptoms get so bad that I can’t make it into school or work, and can barely get out of bed. I had struggled to find a non-pharmaceutical solution (I take prescription strength Naproxen) that was actually able to help -- at least a little bit -- until I tried this magical oil
〰️
This essential oil rollerball claims to fight cramps, balance hormones, and calm PMS symptoms. I’ll be honest, at first I didn’t think anything like a natural essential oil could help me manage my period pains, but I’m now a believer 🙌🏻
〰️
While this product is not a substitute for my prescription anti-inflammatory, I find that it really does help when used in conjunction with my medication, or when used on the days that are a bit more bearable that I don’t feel the need to take my pills. I just roll a little bit of the oil on my wrists, neck, and lower abdomen and find that it does give me some relief -- especially from the headaches and nausea. I’ve even used it to tackle non-period-related headaches and it’s been really helpful
〰️
I would highly recommend this oil to anyone seeking natural alternatives to managing period-related pain and discomfort, hormonal imbalances, or occasional headaches/nausea. I hope it works for you as well as it has been working for me 💕
*product was gifted but all thoughts and opinions expressed are true to my own experience

Hey guys!
I know it’s been awhile but I’m officially back! The past few weeks I’ve been busy moving into college and adjusting. But I’m officially back and I’ll be trying to post regularly!
Todays post is about Meet Blume!
Meet Blume is a natural and sustainable company that creates products specifically for women. These products are organic and don’t include chemicals that are harmful to your body.
Meet Blume kindly sent me a few of their products to test out in return for my honest review.
The first product and my favorite product is the Day Dreamer face wash. I use this as a morning wash to remove any dirt and oil from my skin. This is a perfect gentle morning wash as it gives good hydration and leaves my skin feeling smooth and clean.
The next product I’ve been using is the Hug Me deodorant. Now I’m generally very picky about deodorant because some deodorants tend to break me out and I’m huge on finding the right scent. This deodorant didn’t really have a scent and it didn’t break me out. I started wearing this daily with my favorite perfume and I haven’t looked back. This deodorant is long lasting and amazing during the summer months.
The next two products, the Meltdown, an acne treatment, and Cloud 9, a pms Oil, I haven’t fully formed my thoughts on yet. I don’t get bad breakouts, so I haven’t really been able to test out meltdown and see if it removes pimples overnight. As for Cloud 9, I’ve had mixed results with it. The first time I used it , it worked, and the second time, it only reduced my cramp pain by a little. I’ll be coming back to these two products to test them out again.
Overall, I’m liking the products Blume has put out! I’m also a huge fan of their monthly subscription box for pads/tampons and other goodies! Have you tried Meet Blume?
Also make sure to enter my giveaway! Its ending soon!

Hidden Gem 💎 .
✈️ In the confusion of packing and moving this little gem ended up in a pile of skincare I was giving away to one of my besties, so sadly I never got to try this beauty from @meetblume but she did! She kindly took this photo and sent her thoughts on the Meltdown acne treatment for me to share with you guys. @lindsaygirl89 says that it’s very lightweight and doesn’t feel greasy on the skin. She said that it was a nice (but very strong) lavender and sage (maybe) scent. She also said that when used on up coming blemishes it stops them before they start. So basically, this will help stop blemishes before they become blemishes. Lol.
.
😱 So basically this was the acne treatment that I needed but accidentally missed out on 🤦🏼‍♀️ thank you Blume for sending this to me, so sorry I didn’t get to try it. 😂🤦🏼‍♀️

🌺Blume Brand Review🌺.
.
🌺The Brand: Blume was created by two sisters, Taran and Bunny, to de-stigmatize periods and create products that are not a threat to the body or the environment. Their line of wellness products, from organic tampons to blemish treatments; range from $11 - $26. They also have a monthly subscription box that starts at $11, where you can customize it however you want. And you can even get 2 organic full sized products by other companies to try each month.
.
🌺Organic Tampons: With no federal regulation for current brands to disclose the ingredients in feminine hygiene products, and has been found that some contain bleach, dyes, wood pulp, pesticides, and much more toxic chemicals, Blume has tampons with 100% organic cotton, biodegradable, hypoallergenic, BPA free, and FDA approved. This is a highlight product for me! With maximum absorbency, comfortable wear, and no irritation, Blume’s tampons are amazing! I would recommend them to anyone that wants a healthier and safer option that works. And will definitely purchase them for myself and for my love ones.
.
🌺Meltdown Blemish Treatment: A powerful blend of natural ingredients like black cumin seed oil, rosehip oil, tamanu seed oil, among others; that with only one drop fights acne, reduces inflammation, and prevents scarring. I was not able to test the product myself because luckily I have not gotten a single pimple in a while, but I did test it on my husband’s back. It certainly did not eliminate the blemishes completely overnight, but it did reduce the inflammation and redness to a minimal. It definitely decreased the size of the pimples, and speeded up the healing process. I am very impressed by this product and will treasure it and use it to fight those unexpected visitors especially around that time of the month.
.
🌺Cloud 9 PMS Oil: An essential oil roll with jojoba, sage, peppermint, geranium, bergamont, and lemon;
that fights cramps, balances hormones, and calms pms symptoms by applying to the abdomen, wrists, or chest in circular motions 5-10x. [cont. 👇🏻]

We could all do with fewer toxins .
That’s kind of my version of what @meetblume is all about. From deodorant to tampons (swipe to see all the products I’m talking about). They are a cruelty free, vegan, company that focuses on women’s care. They were very generous and sent me their whole line (I think?) to try and test out. Fun thing is that they offer a monthly subscription and their products are all ‘what you see if what you get’. Their tampons are all natural cotton with no chemicals or additives. Their Cloud9 roller ball is a blend of essential oils meant to ease cramps and their acne treatment is for when your skin freaks out at that time of the month and is also an all essential oils blend. .
I have an IUD, which means for me, I don’t get periods almost at all and therefore no cramps. This means that I haven’t cracked into the tampons for the cloud9. I also haven’t tested the acne treatment out because I’m being hyper careful about not trying too many things at once. I HAVE been testing the deodorant and face wash however. .
Hug Me deodorant is a great natural deodorant option. It has a very simple, natural ingredient list and has a light scent. It holds up very well as long as you aren’t sweating excessively or r exercising a lot. Some of you might be immediately disappointed but hear me out. Natural deodorants NEVER (for me) hold up under a lot of hot weather or exercise, by the end of the day I smell a bit of a lot depending on what I did. But for a regular day to day this keeps me pretty dry and at the end of the day I don’t rush to take a shower. In my book this is up at the top with my HG Schmidt’s natural deodorant. .
Day Dreamer super gentle face wash is literally that. It’s almost lotion like in texture, has a relatively short, natural ingredient list and a light scent. It’s a great option for really sensitive skin or as a gentle morning cleanse. This does not make my skin break out, or cause irritation. I really enjoy using this one and it will be coming with me to China! .

if you saw my previous post declaring my love for @meetblume you know how fond I am of their hug me deodorant and day dreamer cleanser! Luckily I’ve gotten a chance to test out the rest

the cloud 9 is a roller tube you rub on to soothe cramps. Skeptical? A study published in may 2012 by the journal for obstetrics and gynecology research actually proved the effectiveness of aromatic oil massage! Although my menstrual cramps were at bay this month I found this to be soothing during an irritable bowel syndrome episode. it didn’t make it go away but made it more bearable and calming. I even roll it on my wrists in the morning if my anxiety is up on the way to med school classes. The smell is super relaxing!
🌥
Meltdown treatment- I will be honest and say I don’t get blemishes/acne that often. I had a small one on my chin that left a dark mark so I’ve been putting this over it and I think it’s brightened up a bit! it’s too soon to tell but at the very least it is VERY hydrating.
🌥
So, if you’re reading this and thinking “hey I wanna try this!” Or need to restock I have GREAT news. @meetblume has given me a discount code for you all - just type “AMELA10”
And you can get 10 % off your next purchase! Go give it a go! (Please HMU for recommendations but My personal fave is the cleanser)

The lovely sisters at Blume were kind enough to send me a lovely kit. Before i review these products, I’d start with the brand itself, Blume, they used to be called Elle box.
They are a self care brand and they make wellness products mostly for women on their periods. They make chemical free, safe, eco friendly, organic BPA free and FDA Approved tampons. Now they don’t just make sanitary pads and tampons, they make skincare products specifically to cater for your skin during your period. You can either buy each products (every thing here is under 30$) or set up a monthly subscription.
•
To the products:
MELTDOWN: Meltdown(26$) is a spot treatment that uses black cumin seed oil to reduce inflammation and redness on acne and scars. It also includes rosehip oil to repair damaged skin and rosemary oil to act as an antibacterial.
My thoughts : WOW!!! I was lucky enough to receive this when my period started last month haha, I had 3 hormonal zits and I used this meltdown 3 times in a 24 hour period and my zits were gone! Love this. If you have acne prone skin, aha, you’d love this.
•
Cloud9: Cloud 9 (18$) is a blend of essential oils, with a jojoba base and the active ingredient is Clary Sage to fight hormonal imbalance, lift your mood and reduce PMS.
My thoughts: fancy lol. I didn’t notice much (I haven’t used it long enough) and as I don’t get such terrible cramps but I did enjoy using this even after my period.
•
DAYDREAMER cleanser (14$), it is an organic, vegan, paraben gentle, moisturizing face wash for day and night use. It's active ingredient is Moor, off the coast of Vancouver Island, which detoxifies and purifies the skin. It's kind of like a Cetaphil, but without any of the bad stuff, smells amazing and leaves you glowy.
My thoughts : It reminds me of the glossier cleanser, I wasn’t a huge fan of that cleanser At first but after a few uses, it definitely won me over and it’s so much better than glossier. It cleanses your skin and moisturizes it at the same time. So good!. •
***REVIEW CONTINUED IN COMMENTS (discount code at the end***
